My name is Franny Whitfield, I am Native American, from the Mississippi Choctaw nation. I come from a survival background and have personally been doing active, routine based, ritual and emotional work for over 30 years. Understanding intimately, that the simple act of living can often feel intimidating, led me to personally choosing a life based on doing daily work. This has helped me to maintain honest, loving relationships and to commit to emotional growth and self love.
I worked in care and support with hyper aggressive people with cognitive disabilities for many years. I helped them to actively change behaviour, through systematic routine support. I then moved on to working in research and in universities. I am a singer/songwriter and overall creative person, who taught music, at the university level for 15 years, guiding artists, through helping them to embrace who they are. I was also Head of Student Support, working as a university counsellor. I see people and the depth of what they are worth and deserve, I always have. Through emotional intuition, listening and asking helpful and sometimes hard questions, I do all I can to help people truly accept themselves. I believe that integrating every part of ourselves is possible, with support. Standing next to people, who are brave enough to grow, has become my privilege and honour.
"I met Franny eleven years ago when my first son was four months old. It was a time of great change, and I struggled to recognize myself. Who am I? Where do I want to go? What are my goals? These questions became so overwhelming that I could barely identify myself in my own reflection—I didn’t recognize the woman pushing the stroller. That was when I met Franny, and from the very beginning, I was fascinated by the way she guides people. She possesses an incredible range of skills and combines them with a unique clarity, intuition and openness. She connects with her clients in a way that is both precise and deeply empathetic. From our first conversations, she asked me important questions: What do I do? What do I want to achieve? But her interest wasn’t just in my professional aspirations—she truly wanted to understand who I am as a person. With this depth, she helped me find my inner voice and develop ways to express my identity outwardly. Her support was invaluable on multiple levels. As a life stylist, she showed me how firstly clothing is not just about appearance but can be a powerful tool—an instrument to express my identity, to embrace different aspects of my personality, and make conscious choices about how I present myself to the world. She taught me that I could decide every day which side of myself to highlight and share with people, how allowing my inner self to be outward could serve both a practical and enriching function in my life. During difficult times, she was always by my side, offering wisdom drawn from her vast life experience. Franny has been through many phases in her own life, and she draws from them to offer deep insight and tailored guidance to a diverse range of people. Her coaching is characterized by the highest level of professionalism, an extraordinary intuition, and the ability to provide the right impulses at just the right time. Every encounter with her has been invaluable to me, and I can say with absolute certainty: her work enriches the lives of those she supports."

"What Franny is really great at is making you feel understood. Whatever issue I have had, be it related to myself as an artist, career advice, or more therapeutic things, I always felt comfortable adressing them with her. The sessions are a mix between therapy and talking to a really old friend, and can be a little intense, depending what the topic is, but each time I left feeling better about myself and most importantly having a clear plan what to do next. And as a little bonus I got some lovely tea every time."

Her holistic approach as a coach is so unique and priceless - I can recommend her coaching so much! If you want to level up your skills, get in touch with your creative side, need a new perspective on life, work on a new creative venture, or just want to start living...

"Franny is a person of the heart. Not only does she reflect your heart's desires, she also opens her heart to you as a client. In addition to techniques, the work for me has above all been a personal process as an artist, which she has taken me to new levels time and time again. She works reflectively, lovingly but also with bite and passion. Hard work pays off. Even years after our initial work together, I often think of her because her words and processes still resonate with me. Working with Franny is pure happiness and a great process."
